The GROW with SAP solution clearly indicates its value proposition in the name: GROW with SAP helps a business grow.
But we’ve been thinking about the name more, and the benefits of the solution also can be found in each letter of the name. Taken as an acronym, the GROW with SAP name further explains why fast-growing small to mid-sized businesses are adopting the solution.
First, however, let’s define GROW with SAP and help explain where it fits into the SAP enterprise resource planning solution universe.
Understanding GROW with SAP
GROW with SAP is a solution package that helps a business implement and begin using the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition fast. It is a prepackaged version of the ERP that comes with best practices preconfigured and foundational technologies ready for use out of the box. This prepackaged ERP solution is paired with the SAP Activate methodology, templates, automation accelerators, and extra support for a faster rollout.
S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the underlying ERP, is the public cloud version of SAP’s flagship offering. It is a modular, highly scalable cloud ERP solution that can run lean for smaller businesses yet expand to rival the power and scale of SAP solutions that run the likes of Fortune 500 companies such as Coca-Cola and British Petroleum. By making it modular and hosted in a public cloud environment, SAP has enabled smaller firms to put in place a single system that can scale and handle operations for the full life of a business.
Make no mistake; this is a future-proof, full-featured ERP solution. No more ERP upgrades, in other words, just the configuration and addition of extra functionality as your business grows.
Organizations adopting ERP or an SAP solution for the first time can ease the implementation process with the GROW with SAP package. Those moving to the solution from another SAP product have a different path, RISE with SAP.
The Value is in the Name
GROW with SAP isn’t an acronym, but it could be. Contained within each letter of the package name is a hint at how the solution helps businesses grow.
In previous articles, we’ve expanded on both the “GROW” and “with” parts of the name. GROW could be an acronym for Gain Control, Reduce Complexity, Optimize Efficiency, and Win with Agility. Similarly, “with” could stand for work smarter, Innovate confidently, Transform rapidly, and Harness innovation.
Now let’s look at the word “SAP” in the GROW with SAP name.
Technically, SAP stands for “Systems, Applications & Products”, which isn’t a bad description for the ERP solutions developed by the company. But in the context of GROW with SAP, it also could stand for Simplifying processes, Achieving growth, and Partnering with experts.

Simplify Processes
GROW with SAP can help your business standardize and streamline workflows to eliminate inefficiencies and increase productivity.
The S/4HANA Cloud solution that is part of GROW with SAP helps a business standardize processes in two ways.
First, brings best practices for common process and workflow needs. Businesses often reinvent the wheel with their backend processes when it would be more efficient to use best practices for those processes. Competitive advantage doesn’t usually come from the way a company does sales order processing, for instance. Better to use a standard approach.
Second, the solution helps with standardizing processes by serving as an end-to-end software system for the business. By having all employees in all departments interfacing with the ERP solution, your business can define and easily enforce standardized, efficient processes for routine operations.

Achieve Growth
Through the use of a cloud-based ERP such as S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, your business can flexibly scale operations without limits.
The cloud-based, modular approach of S/4HANA Cloud means that your business can use only what it needs today but confidently expand later as the business grows. Increasing transaction volume, adding employees or new sites, or building out capacity with new applications and functions is easy and seamless with S/4HANA Cloud.
You want to grow your business, not get constrained by IT infrastructure limitations. GROW with SAP helps your business focus on what really matters.
GROW with SAP
Partner with Experts
Part of the GROW with SAP solution is added support, proven methodologies and a roadmap for quickly rolling out an ERP solution that will help your business succeed.
ERP is complex because it touches all parts of a business, but a large community of SAP developers and support partners can help your organization implement an efficient ERP solution on time and under budget.
This is especially crucial for a modular ERP solution such as S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition because expert support not only can smooth the transition to the new system, it also helps your business decide what modules and functionality are needed for your specific use cases.
